Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(in thousands, except per share amounts)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

The Company provides professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, marketing, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services, in the areas of energy, environment, and infrastructure; health, education, and social programs; safety and security; and consumer and financial services. The Company offers a full range of services to these clients throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative, from research and analysis and assessment and advice to design and implementation of programs and technology-based solutions, and the provision of engagement services and programs.

The Company’s major clients are U.S. federal government departments and agencies, most significantly the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of State, and Department of Defense. The Company also serves U.S. state (including territories) and local government departments and agencies, international governments, and commercial clients worldwide. Commercial clients include airlines, airports, electric and gas utilities, health care companies, banks and other financial services companies, transportation, travel and hospitality firms, non-profits/associations, law firms, manufacturing firms, retail chains, and distribution companies. The term “federal” or “federal government” refers to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refers to U.S. state (including territories) and local governments, unless otherwise indicated.

The Company, incorporated in Delaware, is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The Company maintains additional offices throughout the world, including more than 50 offices in the U.S. and U.S. territories and 22 offices in key markets outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India, and Canada.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, contingent consideration related to business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition and costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management's estimates.

Interim Results

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to be condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating segment and reporting unit. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts, among other contracts, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company can elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Also, the Company can elect various optional expedients that would allow for the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. This guidance was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented to the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	2021				2020
	Beginning		Ending		Beginning		Ending
Cash and cash equivalents	$	13,841	$	9,603	$	6,482	$	9,064
Restricted cash (1)		68,146		26,307		—		—
Total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	81,987	$	35,910	$	6,482	$	9,064

(1) Under a contract with a customer that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company received advance payments to be used to pay providers of services to the customer, a separate third-party. The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “Receipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “Payment of restricted contract funds.”

On March 3, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement with a group of ten commercial banks (the “Credit Facility”). The First Amendment amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement to, among other things, (i) add a new term loan facility in the original principal amount of $200.0 million; (ii) increase the swing line commitment amount by $25.0 million to $75.0 million; (iii) extend the maturity date; and (iv) modify certain definitions and certain covenants. As a result, the Credit Facility now consists of (i) a term loan facility of $200.0 million; (ii) a revolving line of credit of up to $600.0 million with additional revolving credit commitments of up to $300.0 million, subject to lenders’ approval (the “Accordion”); and (iii) a sub-limit of $75.0 million for swing line loans. The Credit Facility matures on March 3, 2025.

9

The Company has the option to borrow funds under the Credit Facility at interest rates based on both LIBOR (1, 3, or 6-month rates) and the Base Rate (as defined herein), at its discretion, plus their applicable margins. Base Rates are fluctuating per annum rates of interest equal to the highest of (i) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate (as defined under the Credit Facility) and (iii) the daily LIBOR rate, plus a LIBOR margin between 1.00% and 2.00% based on its Leverage Ratio (as defined under the Credit Facility). The interest accrued based on LIBOR rates is to be paid on the last business day of the interest period (1, 3, or 6 months), while interest accrued based on the Base Rate is to be paid in quarterly installments. The Credit Facility also provides for letters of credit aggregating up to $60.0 million which reduce the funds available under the Credit Facility when issued.  The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee between 0.13% and 0.25% per annum based on the Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company and requires that the Company remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants require, among other things, that the Company maintain at all times an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined under the Credit Facility) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.00 to 1.00 (subject to a step-up to 4.25 to 1.0 for a four quarter period following permitted acquisitions as defined under the Credit Facility) for each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also has a conforming dividend covenant that allows the Company to pay dividends as long as it remains in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $333.9 million long-term debt outstanding from the Credit Facility (including the term loan, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs), nine outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.3 million, net derivative obligations of $6.4 million and unused borrowing capacity of $450.3 million under the Credit Facility (excluding the Accordion and the term loan). Taking into account the financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity (excluding the Accordion and the term loan) was $292.0 million as of June 30, 2021. 

Future scheduled repayments of debt principal are as follows:

Payments due by	Term Loan		Revolving Credit		Total

NOTE 7 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from clients, most of which is earned over time, into categories that depict how the nature, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Those categories are client market, client type and contract mix. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of the Company’s expertise. In classifying revenue by client market, the Company attributes revenue from a client to the market that the Company believes is the client’s primary market. The Company also classifies revenue by the type of entity for which it does business, which is an indicator of the diversity of its client base. The Company attributes revenue generated from being a subcontractor to a commercial company as government revenue when the ultimate client is a government agency or department. Disaggregation by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that the Company has assumed. Fixed-price contracts are considered to provide the highest amount of performance risk as the Company is required to deliver a scope of work or level of effort for a negotiated fixed price. Time-and-materials contracts require the Company to provide skilled employees on contracts for negotiated fixed hourly rates. Since the Company is not required to deliver a scope of work, but merely skilled employees, it considers these contracts to be less risky than a fixed-price agreement. Cost-based contracts are considered to provide the lowest amount of performance risk since the Company is generally reimbursed for all contract costs incurred in performance of contract deliverables with only the amount of incentive or award fees (if applicable) dependent on the achievement of negotiated performance requirements.

Changes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were driven by an increase of revenue in the energy, environment, and infrastructure client market, primarily led by revenue from international government clients, an increase in the health, education, and social programs client market led by revenue from U.S. federal government and international government clients, and an increase in the consumer and financial services client market led by revenue from commercial clients. Revenue from safety and security client market saw a slight decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from U.S. federal government clients, and a slight increase in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from international government clients.

Contract Balances:

Contract assets consist primarily of unbilled amounts resulting from long-term contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed often due to billing schedule timing. Contract liabilities result from advance payments received on a contract or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on long-term contracts due to billing schedule timing.

The following table summarizes the contract balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020			$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	150,390		$	143,369		$	7,021		4.9	%
Contract liabilities		(35,700	)		(42,050	)		6,350		(15.1	%)
Net contract assets (liabilities)	$	114,690		$	101,319		$	13,371		13.2	%

11

The net contract assets (liabilities) as of June 30, 2021 increased by $13.4 million as compared to December 31, 2020. The increase in net contract assets (liabilities) is primarily due to the timing difference between the performance of services and billings to and payments from customers. There were no material changes to contract balances due to impairments during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $20.1 million and $19.8 million in revenue related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Performance Obligations:

The Company had $1.6 billion in unfulfilled performance obligations as of June 30, 2021 which primarily entail the future delivery of services for which revenue will be recognized over time. The obligations relate to continued or additional services required on contracts and were generally valued using an estimated cost-plus margin approach, with variable consideration being estimated at the most likely amount.  The Company expects to satisfy these performance obligations, on average, in one to two years.

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company manages its risk to changes in interest rates through the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  For variable rate borrowings, the Company uses fixed interest rate swaps, effectively converting a portion of the variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments.  These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.

A summary of interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

				Dates of Effected Cash Flows
Date of Interest Rate Swap Agreement	Notional Amount ($million)		Paid Fixed Interest Rate%	Beginning	Ending
September 30, 2016 (1)	$	100.0	-	January 31, 2018	January 31, 2023
August 31, 2017	$	25.0	1.8475%	August 31, 2018	August 31, 2023
August 8, 2018	$	50.0	2.8540%	August 31, 2018	August 31, 2023
August 8, 2018	$	25.0	2.8510%	August 31, 2018	August 31, 2023
February 20, 2020	$	100.0	1.2940%	February 28, 2020	February 28, 2025

(1) On December 1, 2016, the Company sold the interest rate hedge agreement.  The fair value of the interest rate hedge, as of the date of the sale, was recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  The gain from the sale will be recognized into earnings when earnings are impacted by the cash flows of the previously hedged variable interest rate.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 30.7% and 29.0%, respectively, and 28.8% and 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company is subject to federal income tax as well as taxes in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Tax statutes and regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation and require the application of significant judgment. The Company’s 2017 through 2019 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for federal tax purposes. Certain significant state, local and foreign tax returns also remain open under the applicable statute of limitations and are subject to examination for the tax years from 2016 to 2019.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, resulting from tax positions taken in a prior period.  Included in the balance as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $0.8 million and $0.3 million in unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.

The Company’s policy is not to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued penalty and interest at June 30, 2021 but had $0.1 million in accrued penalty and interest at June 30, 2020, respectively.

The Company has made no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes or additional foreign taxes on future unremitted earnings of its controlled foreign subsidiaries because the Company considers these earnings to be permanently invested.

12

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company elected to participate in several novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) tax-relief programs for which it was eligible. Pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, the Company exercised the option to defer payment of the employer portion of the Social Security tax, with 50% to be repaid by December 31, 2021 and the remainder by December 31, 2022.  The Company deferred payment of approximately $20.9 million of employer Social Security taxes during the year ended December 31, 2020.  The current portion of the deferred payments are included in accrued salaries and benefits, and the remaining deferred payments are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 12 – ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 4, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Omnibus Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders and became effective on May 31, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan replaced the previous 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan was amended on May 28, 2020 to increase the number of shares available for issuance.

The 2018 Omnibus Plan, as amended, allows the Company to grant 1,600,000 shares using stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance units and performance share awards (“PSA”), cash-settled restricted stock units (“CSRSU”), and other stock-based awards to all officers, key employees, and non-employee directors of the Company. Outstanding shares granted under the Prior Plan, totaling 37,077 as of June 30, 2021, remain subject to its terms and conditions, and no additional awards from the Prior Plan are to be made after the Effective Date. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 1,005,607 shares available for grant under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. CSRSUs have no impact on the shares available for grant under the Omnibus Plan, nor on the calculated shares used in earnings per share calculations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted to its employees 78,218 shares in the form of RSUs with an average grant date fair value of $89.00, and the equivalent value of 50,735 shares in the form of CSRSUs with an average grant date fair value of $89.12. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also granted 35,318 shares in the form of PSAs to its employees with a grant date fair value of $95.72 per share. The RSUs, CSRSUs and PSAs granted are generally subject to service-based vesting conditions, with the PSAs also having performance-based vesting conditions. The performance conditions for the PSAs granted in 2021 have a performance period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 and performance conditions that are consistent with the PSAs granted in prior years.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $10.6 million and $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $12.6 million as of June 30, 2021 related to unsettled RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The unrecognized compensation expense related to CSRSUs totaled approximately $9.3 million at June 30, 2021 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Unrecognized compensation expense related to PSAs of approximately $4.4 million as of June 30, 2021 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

NOTE 13 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

A prior acquisition’s purchase agreement included additional consideration in the form of warranty and indemnity hold back payments. As of June 30, 2021, one payment remains outstanding for approximately $1.3 million, which is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of 2022. The remaining warranty and indemnity liability was recorded at its fair value at the date of the acquisition discounting the liability at 3.25%.

NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company’s earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into stock. The difference between the basic and diluted weighted-average equivalent shares with respect to the Company’s EPS calculation was due entirely to the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting and settlement of RSUs and PSAs. PSAs are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were also the end of the applicable performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method.

As of June 30, 2021, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 met the related performance conditions for the initial performance period and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS. However, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 and during the six months ended June 30, 2021 have not yet completed their initial two-year performance period and therefore were excluded in the calculation of diluted EPS.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were no weighted-average shares excluded from the calculation of EPS because they were anti-dilutive.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were 258 weighted-average shares that were anti-dilutive. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 19,755 and 19,881 weighted-average shares that were excluded because they were anti-dilutive. The anti-dilutive shares in both years were associated with RSUs.

NOTE 15 – SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

The Company’s share repurchase program allows for share repurchases in the aggregate up to $100.0 million under share repurchase plans approved by the board of directors pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company approved an updated Rule 10b5-1 plan element of the share repurchase program as part of its normal process that commenced January 11, 2021.  The Credit Facility permits unlimited share repurchases, provided the Company’s Leverage Ratio, prior to and after giving effect to such repurchases, is not greater than 3.50 to 1.00. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company used $14.7 million to repurchase 173,000 shares and $16.6 million to repurchase 206,820 shares, respectively, under the repurchase program. As of June 30, 2021, $31.3 million remained available for share repurchases under the repurchase program.

Dividend

On August 3, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a $0.14 per share cash dividend.  The dividend will be paid on October 13, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 10, 2021.

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

The Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause it to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Road Home Contract

On June 10, 2016, the Office of Community Development (the “OCD”) of the State of Louisiana filed a written administrative demand with the Louisiana Commissioner of Administration against ICF Emergency Management Services, L.L.C. (“ICF Emergency”), a subsidiary of the Company, in connection with ICF Emergency’s administration of the Road Home Program (“Program”). The Program contract was a three-year, $912 million contract awarded to the Company in 2006. The Program ended, as scheduled, in 2009. 

The Program was primarily intended to help homeowners and landlords of small rental properties affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. In its administrative demand, the OCD sought approximately $200.8 million in alleged overpayments to the Program’s grant recipients, and separately supplemented the amount of recovery it sought in total to approximately $220.2 million. The State of Louisiana, through the Division of Administration, also filed suit in Louisiana state court on June 10, 2016. The State of Louisiana broadly alleges and sought recoupment for the same claim made in the administrative proceeding submission before the Louisiana Commissioner of Administration. On September 21, 2016, the Commissioner of the Division of Administration notified OCD and the Company of his decision to defer jurisdiction of the administrative demand filed by the OCD. In so doing, the Commissioner declined to reach a decision on the merits, stated that his deferral would not be deemed to grant or deny any portion of the OCD’s claim, and authorized the parties to proceed on the matter in the previously filed judicial proceeding.  The Company continues to believe that this claim has no merit, intends to vigorously defend its position, and has therefore not recorded a liability as of June 30, 2021.

Executive Chair Retirement

On November 15, 2020, the Company’s former Executive Chair gave notice of his retirement effective December 31, 2020.  In connection with his retirement, the former Executive Chair is entitled to receive compensation and benefits as provided in his employment agreement for a termination of employment on the basis of “good reason.”  As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $1.9 million in unpaid severance expected to be paid to the former Executive Chair by July 2021. These amounts were expensed as part of the recording of the Executive Chair’s retirement in the fourth quarter of 2020. PSAs totaling 34,276 shares which were originally granted during 2019 and 2020, are to be satisfied through the normal course of the PSA equity award plan (see Note 12—Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation), and subject to adjustments from EPS and rTSR performances.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) constitute forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,” or similar words. You should read statements that contain these words carefully. The risk factors described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as well as any cautionary language in this Quarterly Report, provide examples of risks, uncertainties, and events that may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to:

• Our dependence on contracts with United States (“U.S.”) federal, state and local, and international governments, agencies and departments for the majority of our revenue;

• Changes in federal government budgeting and spending priorities;

• Failure by Congress or other governmental bodies to approve budgets and debt ceiling increases in a timely fashion and related reduction in government spending;

• Failure of the Administration and Congress to agree on spending priorities, which may result in temporary shutdowns of non-essential federal functions, including our work to support such functions;

• Effects of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), or any other future pandemic, and related national, state and local government actions and reactions on the health of our staff and that of our clients, the continuity of our and our clients’ operations, our results of operations and our outlook;

• Results of routine and non-routine government audits and investigations;

• Dependence of commercial work on certain sectors of the global economy that are highly cyclical;

• Failure to realize the full amount of our backlog;

• Risks inherent in being engaged in significant and complex disaster relief efforts and grants management programs involving multiple tiers of government in very stressful environments;

• Difficulties in integrating acquisitions;

• Risks resulting from expanding service offerings and client base;

• Acquisitions we undertake may present integration challenges, fail to perform as expected, increase our liabilities, and/or reduce our earnings;

• The lawsuit filed by the State of Louisiana seeking approximately $220.2 million in alleged overpayments from the Road Home contract; and

• Additional risks as a result of having international operations.

Our forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management and the information available to our management at the time these disclosures were prepared. Although we believe the expectations reflected in these statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which apply only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if our situation changes in the future.

The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Company,” as used throughout this Quarterly Report, refer to ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. The term “federal” or “federal government” refers to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refers to U.S. state and local governments and the governments of U.S. territories. The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity and capital resources. You should read this discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 (our “Annual Report”).

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

We provide professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, marketing, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services. We help our clients conceive, develop, implement, and improve solutions that address complex business, natural resource, social, technological, and public safety issues. Our services primarily support clients that operate in four key markets:

• Energy, Environment, and Infrastructure;

• Health, Education, and Social Programs;

• Safety and Security; and

• Consumer and Financial Services.

We provide services to our diverse client base that deliver value throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative. Our primary services include:

• Advisory Services;

• Program Implementation Services;

• Analytics Services;

• Digital Services; and

• Engagement Services.

Our clients utilize our services because we combine diverse institutional knowledge and experience with the deep subject matter expertise of our highly educated staff, which we deploy in multi-disciplinary teams. We believe that our domain expertise and the program knowledge developed from our research and analytic, and assessment and advisory engagements further position us to provide a full suite of services.

We report operating results and financial data as a single segment based on the consolidated information used by our chief operating decision-maker in evaluating the financial performance of our business and allocating resources. Our single segment represents our core business – professional services for government and commercial clients. Although we describe our multiple service offerings to clients that operate in four markets to provide a better understanding of the scope and scale of our business, we do not manage our business or allocate our resources based on those service offerings or client markets. Rather, on a project-by-project basis, we assemble the best team from throughout the enterprise to deliver highly customized solutions that are tailored to meet the needs of each client. Notwithstanding the impact of COVID-19 we believe that, in the long-term, demand for our services will continue to grow as government, industry, and other stakeholders seek to address critical long-term societal and natural resource issues due to heightened concerns about clean energy and energy efficiency; health promotion, treatment, and cost control; natural disaster relief and rebuild efforts; and ongoing homeland security threats. In the wake of the major hurricanes (Harvey, Irma, Maria, Laura and Michael) that devastated communities in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, the affected areas remain in various stages of relief and recovery efforts.  We believe our prior and current experience with disaster relief and rebuild efforts, including those from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and Superstorm Sandy, put us in a favorable position to continue to provide recovery assistance, housing, and environmental and infrastructure solutions on behalf of federal departments and agencies, state, territorial and local governments, and regional agencies.

We also see significant opportunity to further leverage our digital and client engagement capabilities across our commercial and government client base. Our future results will depend on the success of our strategy to enhance our client relationships and seek larger engagements spanning all aspects of the program life cycle, as well as completely and successfully integrating strategic acquisitions. We will continue to focus on building scale in vertical and horizontal domain expertise, developing business with both our government and commercial clients, and replicating our business model in selective geographies. In doing so, we will continue to evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities, such as our acquisition of Incentive Technology Group, LLC (“ITG”) in 2020, that enhance our subject matter knowledge, broaden our service offerings, and/or provide scale in specific geographies.

Although we continue to see favorable long-term market opportunities, there are certain business challenges facing all government service providers. Administrative and legislative actions by the federal government to address changing priorities or in response to the budget deficit could have a negative impact on our business, which may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow. Similarly, the very nature of opportunities arising out of disaster recovery mean they can involve unusual challenges. Factors such as the overall stress on communities and people affected by disaster recovery situations, political complexities and challenges among involved government agencies, and a higher-than-normal risk of audits and investigations, may result in a reduction to our revenue and profit and adversely affect cash flow.  However, we believe we are well positioned to provide a broad range of services in support of initiatives that will continue to be priorities to the federal government, as well as to state and local and international governments and commercial clients.

Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the novel strain of coronavirus disease COVID-19 as a global pandemic. There continues to be significant uncertainty as to the effects of this pandemic on the global economy, which may impact, among other things, our operations, balance sheet, results of operations or cash flows. Adverse events such as health-related concerns about working in our offices, the inability to travel, the potential impact on our employees, clients, subcontractors and other suppliers and business partners, a slow-down in customer decision-making that affects procurement cycles, a reprioritization of client spending, and other matters affecting the general work and business environment have harmed, and could continue to harm, our business and delay the implementation of our business strategy. We cannot fully anticipate all the ways in which the current global health crisis, economic slowdown and financial market conditions could adversely impact our business in the future. The longer the duration of the pandemic, the advent of new strains of the virus and challenges faced in the rollout of vaccines, the more likely it is that it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows. We are primarily a service business, and our staffing, and that of our subcontractors, has been maintained, substantially on a work from home basis, fortunately with little COVID-19 illness among our staff.

To date, we have experienced continuity in the majority of our work for our government clients, which accounted for approximately 70.8% and 71.1% of our revenues for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. There have been postponements of events and challenges around project work requiring travel and personal contact to perform services under the contracts, but overall, our government clients have continued to require our services.  There has also been additional demand from federal agencies such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as well as state and local and international government agencies.

Of the remaining 29.2% and 28.9% of our total revenue for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, the majority was generated from commercial energy markets and commercial marketing services. In commercial energy, where we work primarily for utility clients, we have experienced trends similar to those with our government clients, although some aspects of energy efficiency programs have been put on hold as they involve direct interaction with consumers. The commercial marketing services includes public event management and marketing technology, which was impacted based on the deferral or cancellation of marketing events. Some of our commercial clients perform work in travel-related markets and have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the restriction upon travel worldwide. As a result, we continue to monitor that business area closely. These elements of commercial marketing services represented less than 9.7% and 9.6% of our total company-wide revenues for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

We are monitoring the evolving situation related to the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to work with our stakeholders to assess further possible implications to our business and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences. To protect employee health and safety while COVID-19 remains a threat, we plan to continue to deliver a majority of our services to clients remotely. Based on the continued level of new cases and the estimated timing for widespread access to vaccines, we now expect to begin our phased return to in-person operations at our office locations no earlier than September 2021. While the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act contains a provision that allows federal contractors to seek specified reimbursement for certain employees who are unable to perform their contract requirements due to government restrictions, we believe we have limited claims under the CARES Act, and reimbursements are also subject to limitations and did not extend past December 31, 2020. Additionally, we deferred payment of approximately $20.9 million of employer Social Security taxes during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.  We did not defer any additional Social Security taxes in 2021.

As part of management actions to counter the impact of COVID-19, we have aligned our costs with anticipated revenues. In the U.S. and in our international operations, we had used staff reductions, furloughs, and other temporary wage reduction programs in response to the pandemic during 2020. However, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 we did not have as many staff reductions, furloughs, or wage reductions as a result of COVID-19 as we had previously experienced in 2020. We also previously participated in three international government subsidy programs whose objective is to encourage eligible companies to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. We minimally participated in two subsidy programs during the first quarter of 2021 but did not participate in such programs subsequently.

Employees and Offices:

We have approximately 7,500 full and part-time employees around the globe, including many recognized as thought leaders in their respective fields. We serve clients globally from our headquarters in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, our more than 50 regional offices throughout the U.S. and more than 22 offices in key regions outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India and Canada.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make certain estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and our application of critical accounting policies, including revenue recognition, impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets, income taxes, and stock-based compensation.  If any of these estimates, assumptions or judgments prove to be incorrect, our reported results could be materially affected. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates under different assumptions or conditions. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report and “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report for further discussions of our significant accounting policies and estimates.

We periodically evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates based on changes in U.S. GAAP and the current environment that may have an effect on our financial statements.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recent accounting standards are discussed in “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations—Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.

SELECTED KEY METRICS

In order to evaluate operations, we track revenue by key metrics that provide useful information about the nature of our operations. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of our expertise. Client type is an indicator of the diversity of our client base. Revenue by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that we have assumed. Significant variances in the key metrics are discussed under the revenue section of the results of operations. For further discussion see “Note 7—Revenue Recognition” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.

Revenue. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $392.5 million, compared to $354.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, representing an increase of $38.5 million or 10.9%. The increase in revenue was primarily from international government clients of $19.9 million, or 111.7%, U.S. federal government clients of $11.4 million, or 6.7%, and commercial clients of $6.5 million, or 6.0%. See “Note 7—Revenue Recognition” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.” The change in revenue from international government clients for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020 was driven by increases of $12.5 million, or 251.9%, from our energy, environment, and infrastructure client market and $6.7 million, or 59.3%, from our health, education, and social programs client market.  Our increase in revenue from U.S. federal government clients was mainly from our health, education, and social programs client market, which increased $11.3 million, or

22

10.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020.  Increases in revenue from commercial clients include $6.0 million, or 37.9%, from U.S. consumer and financial services client market, $5.4 million, or 8.3%, from U.S. energy, environment, and infrastructure client market, and $1.5 million, or 20.2%, from international energy, environmental, and infrastructure client market, offset by a decrease of $6.6 million, or 50.9%, in revenue from U.S. health, education, and social programs client market.

Direct Costs. Direct costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $246.6 million compared to $223.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $23.2 million or 10.4%. The increase in direct costs was driven by an increase of $18.4 million in sub-contractor and other direct costs and $4.9 million in direct labor and associated fringe benefit costs. The increase in sub-contractor and other direct costs was primarily due to an increase in our work for our international government clients that rely on sub-contract labor, as well as an increase in events and media buys that took place during the three months ended June 30, 2021.  Sub-contractor and other direct costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 45.1% of total direct costs compared to 41.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in direct labor and associated fringe benefit costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was also primarily driven by the increases in our work for our international government clients, with increases in headcounts and utilization as compared to the same period in 2020. Direct labor and fringe benefit costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 54.9% of direct costs compared to 58.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Direct costs as a percent of revenue were 62.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 63.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Indirect and selling expenses. Indirect and selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $106.2 million compared to $99.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $6.9 million or 7.0%. The increase in indirect and selling expenses was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative costs of $3.7 million and indirect labor and associated fringe benefit costs of $3.2 million. Indirect labor and associated fringe benefit costs increased due to higher headcounts as well as an increase in compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Indirect and selling expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 27.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 28.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in depreciation and amortization is the result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $3.0 million compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The $0.5 million decrease was primarily due to intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions becoming fully amortized offset by amortization of intangible assets acquired in our 2020 acquisition of ITG.

Operating Income. Operating income was $32.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $9.2 million or 40.3%. The increase in operating income was largely due to an increase in revenue of $38.5 million offset by an increase direct costs of $23.2 million and in indirect and selling expenses of $2.4 million. Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 8.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 6.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, interest expense was $2.6 million and $3.9 million resulting in a decrease of $1.3 million, or 33.2%. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to our average debt balance of $363.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to our average debt balance of $493.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Other (expense) income. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, other expense was less than $0.1 million compared to other income of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change was primarily due to net unrealized and realized foreign currency losses, net of the change in the value of foreign currency swaps, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net unrealized and realized foreign currency gains, net of the change in the value of foreign currency swaps, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, provision for income taxes was $9.0 million compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $3.4 million or 61.4%. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 30.7% and 29.0%, respectively.  The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to increased non-deductible executive compensation, valuation allowance on excess foreign tax credits and refinements to prior year provisions for return filings compared with 2020, partially offset by non-taxable investment income and additional windfall tax benefit from equity-based compensation.

Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $771.0 million, compared to $712.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing an increase of $58.8 million or 8.3%. The increase in revenue was from international government clients of $34.3 million, or 84.2%, and U.S. federal government clients of $31.7 million, or 9.7%, offset by decreases in revenue from commercial clients of $3.9 million, or 1.7%, and from U.S. state and local government clients of $3.3 million, or 2.8%.  The increase in revenue from international government clients was driven by $26.3 million, or 273.7%, from our energy, environment, and infrastructure client market, $6.7 million, or 24.3%, from our health, education, and social programs client market, and $1.2 million, or 37.4%, from our safety and security client market.  Our revenue from U.S. federal government clients increased due to $27.0 million, or 12.7%, from our health, education, and social programs client market and $5.4 million, or 9.4%, from our energy, environment, and infrastructure client market.  Decreases in revenue from commercial clients was mainly from a decrease in revenue from our U.S. health, education, and social programs client market of $19.4 million, or 63.0%, $1.0 million, or 7.8%, from our international consumer and financial services client market, offset by increases of $11.7 million or 9.3% from U.S. energy, environment, and infrastructure client market, $4.0 million, or 10.9%, from U.S. consumer and financial services client market, and $0.5 million, or 3.0%, from our international energy, environment, and infrastructure client market.  Revenue from our U.S. state and local government clients decreased primarily due to a $10.5 million, or 11.9%, as a result of a decrease from our energy, environment, and infrastructure client market and $0.4 million, or 49.4%, from our safety and security client market, offset by increase of $7.6 million, or 26.1%, from our health, education, and social programs client market.

Direct Costs. Direct costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $478.7 million compared to $454.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $24.7 million or 5.4%. The increase in direct costs was driven by an increase of $14.4 million in sub-contractor and other direct costs and $10.3 million in direct labor and associated fringe benefit costs. The increase in sub-contractor and other direct costs was primarily due to additional work for our international government clients and additional events and media buys occurring during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020. Sub-contractor and other direct costs as a percentage of total direct costs was 43.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 43.1% for the same period in 2020.  Direct labor and associated fringe costs increased primarily due to additional headcounts and higher utilization from our employees in support of our work for our international government clients. Direct labor and fringe benefit costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 56.1% of direct costs compared to 56.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Direct costs as a percent of revenue decreased to 62.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 63.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Indirect and selling expenses. Indirect and selling expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $216.2 million compared to $202.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $13.6 million or 6.7%. The increase in indirect and selling expenses was primarily due to increases in indirect labor and associated fringe benefit costs of $10.2 million and $3.4 million in general and administrative expenses. The main drivers for the increase in indirect labor and associated fringe benefit costs was a slightly higher headcount at June 30, 2021 as well as additional compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The main drivers for the increase in general and administrative expenses were increases to credit losses of $6.6 million and software licenses of $1.7 million, offset by decreases to travel expense of $1.7 million, facilities expense of $0.9 million, and contract labor expense of $0.8 million. Indirect and selling expenses as a percent of revenue decreased to 28.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 28.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

24

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization was $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $10.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.  The $0.2 million decrease is the result of certain assets becoming fully depreciated and amortized.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $6.0 million compared to $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The $0.3 million decrease was primarily due to reduced levels of amortization of intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions offset by amortization of intangible assets acquired in our 2020 acquisition of ITG.

Operating Income. Operating income was $60.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $39.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $21.0 million or 53.7%. The change was largely due to an increase in revenue of $58.8 million, offset by an increase in direct costs of $24.7 million and indirect and selling expenses of $13.7 million. Operating income as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to 5.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, interest expense was $5.3 million compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $2.1 million or 28.8%. The decrease in interest expense was due to our average debt balance of $344.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $449.0 million during the same period in 2020.

Other (expense) income. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 other expense was $0.5 million compared to other income of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The change was primarily due to net unrealized and realized foreign currency losses, net of the change in the value of foreign currency swaps, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to net unrealized and realized foreign currency gains, net of the change in the value of foreign currency swaps, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Provision for Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, provision for income taxes was $15.7 million compared to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $7.7 million or 97.3%. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 28.8% and 24.6%, respectively. The increase in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to increased non-deductible executive compensation, valuation allowance on excess foreign tax credits, and refinements to prior year provisions for return filings compared with 2020, partially offset by non-taxable investment income and additional windfall tax benefit from equity-based compensation.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

These following tables provide reconciliations of financial measures that are not U.S. GAAP (“non-GAAP”) to the most applicable U.S. GAAP measures. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information, they should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may define similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently and, accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how we define these measures.

Service Revenue

Service revenue represents revenue less subcontractor and other direct costs, which, among other things, include third-party materials and travel expenses. Service revenue is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to revenue as a measure of operating performance. This presentation of service revenue may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may use different methods to prepare similarly titled measures. We believe service revenue is a useful measure to investors since, as a consulting firm, a key source of our profit is revenue obtained from the services that we provide to our clients through our employees. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, service revenue was $281.4 million compared to $261.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $20.2 million or 7.7%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, service revenue was $561.0 million compared to $516.6 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $44.4 million or 8.6%.  Service revenue was 71.7% and 73.8% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 72.8% and 72.5% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.  

The table below presents a reconciliation of revenue to service revenue for the periods indicated: 

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(in thousands)	2021			2020			2021			2020
Revenue	$	392,525		$	353,987		$	771,003		$	712,225
Subcontractor and other direct costs		(111,140	)		(92,789	)		(210,051	)		(195,625	)
Service revenue	$	281,385		$	261,198		$	560,952		$	516,600

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings before interest and other income and/or expense, tax, and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is a measure we use to evaluate operating performance. We believe EBITDA is useful in assessing ongoing trends and, as a result, may provide greater visibility in understanding our operations.

Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. We evaluate these adjustments on an individual basis based on both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of the item, including their size and nature as well as whether or not we expect them to occur as part of our normal business on a regular basis. We believe that the adjustments applied in calculating adjusted EBITDA are reasonable and appropriate to provide additional information to investors.

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under U.S. GAAP and should not be used as alternatives to net income as a measure of operating performance. This presentation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may use different methods to prepare similarly titled measures. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be measures of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use as these measures do not include certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments, capital expenditures and debt service.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated. Certain immaterial amounts in the prior year have been revised to conform with the current presentation of adjusted EBITDA:  

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
(in thousands)	2021			2020			2021		2020
Net income	$	20,312		$	13,656		$	38,663	$	24,268
Other expense (income)		46			(349	)		463		(539	)
Interest expense		2,612			3,908			5,295		7,433
Provision for income taxes		8,984			5,567			15,662		7,939
Depreciation and amortization		7,747			8,543			16,032		16,575
EBITDA		39,701			31,325			76,115		55,676
Adjustment related to impairment of long-lived assets (1)		—			—			303		—
Special charges related to acquisitions (2)		54			98			149		1,942
Special charges related to severance for staff realignment (3)		318			1,078			809		2,848
Special charges related to facilities consolidations and office closures (4)		(61	)		—			139		—
Special charges related to retirement of the former Executive Chair (5)		—			—			224		—
Total special charges		311			1,176			1,624		4,790
Adjusted EBITDA	$	40,012		$	32,501		$	77,739	$	60,466

(1) Adjustment related to impairment of long-lived assets: We recognized impairment expense of $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 related to impairment of a right-of-use lease asset.

(2) Special charges related to acquisitions: These costs consist primarily of consultants and other outside third-party costs and integration costs associated with an acquisition.

(3) Special charges related to severance for staff realignment: These costs are mainly due to involuntary employee termination benefits for our officers, groups of employees who have been notified that they will be terminated as part of a consolidation or reorganization or, to the extent that the costs are not included in the previous two categories, involuntary employee termination benefits for employees who have been terminated as a result of COVID-19.

(4) Special charges related to facilities consolidations and office closures:  These costs are exit costs or gains associated with office lease contraction, terminated office leases, or full office closures. The exit costs include charges incurred under a contractual obligation that existed as of the date of the accrual and for which we will continue to pay until the contractual obligation is satisfied but with no economic benefit to us.

(5) Special charges related to retirement of the former Executive Chair: As a result of the employment agreement, the departing officer was able to maintain certain equity awards beyond his date of employment. The 2019 equity award held by the former Executive Chair was updated for a change in the performance factor.

26

Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share

Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) represents diluted EPS excluding the impact of certain items such as impairment of intangible assets, acquisition expenses, severance for staff realignment, facility consolidations and office closures, and an adjustment related to the retirement of the former Executive Chair (which are also excluded from adjusted EBITDA, as described further above), as well as the impact of amortization of intangible assets related to our acquisitions and income tax effects. While these adjustments may be recurring and not infrequent or unusual, we do not consider these adjustments to be indicative of the performance of our ongoing operations. Non-GAAP diluted EPS is not a recognized term under U.S. GAAP and is not an alternative to basic or diluted EPS as a measure of performance. This presentation of non-GAAP diluted EPS may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies because other companies may use different methods to prepare similarly titled measures. We believe that the supplemental adjustments applied in calculating non-GAAP diluted EPS are reasonable and appropriate to provide additional information to investors.

The following table presents a reconciliation of diluted EPS to non-GAAP diluted EPS for the periods indicated:  

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Diluted EPS	$	1.07		$	0.72		$	2.03		$	1.27

(1) Income tax effects were calculated using an effective U.S. GAAP tax rate of 30.7% and 29.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 28.8% and 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Borrowing Capacity. On March 3, 2020, we entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement with a group of 10 lenders (the “Credit Facility”). The First Amendment amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement, entered into on May 17, 2017. As a result of the First Amendment, we increased our borrowing capacity by $200.0 million through the addition of a $200.0 million term loan to the Credit Facility. The First Amendment also made certain other changes to the Credit Facility as described in “Note 6—Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.

Short-term liquidity requirements are created by our use of funds for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service, dividends and share repurchases. We expect to meet these requirements through a combination of cash flow from operations and borrowings. Our primary source of borrowings is from our Credit Facility, as described in “Note 6—Long-Term Debt” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.

There is continued uncertainty as to effects of the COVID-19 virus on the global economy, which in turn may impact, among other things, our ability to generate historical levels of positive cash flows from operations and our ability to successfully execute and fund key initiatives. However, our current belief is that the combination of internally generated funds, available bank borrowings, and cash and cash equivalents on hand will provide the required liquidity and capital resources necessary to fund on-going operations, customary capital expenditures and acquisitions, quarterly cash dividends, share repurchases and organic growth. Additionally, we continuously analyze our capital structure to ensure we have capital to fund future strategic acquisitions. We monitor the state of the financial markets on a regular basis to assess the availability and cost of additional capital resources from both debt and equity sources. We believe that we will be able to access these markets at commercially reasonable terms and conditions if, in the future, we need additional borrowings or capital.

Financial Condition. There were several changes in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021 compared to the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020.  The more significant changes are discussed below.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $9.6 million as of June 30, 2021, from $13.8 million on December 31, 2020 and restricted cash decreased to $26.3 million as of June 30, 2021 from $68.1 million on December 31, 2020. These balances and the changes to the balances of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are further discussed in “Cash Flow” below and discussed in “Note 2—Restricted Cash” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Contract receivables, net of allowance for credit losses, as of June 30, 2021 increased to $242.6 million compared to $222.9 million on December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in our billings as a result of an increase in revenue generated in 2021

27

compared to the prior year. Contract receivables are a significant component of our working capital and may be favorably or unfavorably impacted by our collection efforts, including timing from new contract startups, and other short-term fluctuations related to the payment practices of our clients. Contract assets and contract liabilities represent revenue in excess of billings and billings in excess of revenue, respectively, both of which generally arise from revenue recognition timing and contractually stipulated billing schedules or billing complexity. At June 30, 2021, contract assets and contract liabilities were $150.4 million and $35.7 million, respectively, compared to $143.4 million and $42.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

We evaluate our collections efforts using the days-sales-outstanding ratio (“DSO”), which we calculate by dividing total accounts receivable (contract receivables, net and contract assets, less contract liabilities), by revenue per day for the trailing 90-day period. DSO was 82 days for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to 88 days for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. We continue to be impacted by the Puerto Rico disaster relief and rebuild efforts which have complex reporting and billing requirements and have been slow to pay our invoices. The DSO, excluding the Puerto Rico disaster relief and rebuild efforts, was 74 days for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 compared to 77 days for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Goodwill, as discussed in “Note 4—Goodwill” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report, increased slightly due to the impact of foreign currency translation. Other intangible assets decreased to $53.9 million at June 30, 2021 from $59.9 million on December 31, 2020 due to continued amortization of intangible assets related to prior acquisitions that we had made.

The decrease in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are primarily due to the amortization of right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities through rent payments. In the first quarter of 2021, we incurred a $0.3 million charge for the impairment of a lease for our discontinued use of the property in our operations and in anticipation of subleasing the property. While we believe that the property will be subleased to a new tenant, we may incur additional impairment charges in the event of a delay in subleasing the space or a tenant cannot be found.

Long-term debt (exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs) increased to $333.9 million on June 30, 2021 from $315.8 million on December 31, 2020, primarily due to the net advance on our Credit Facility of $18.2 million. The average debt balances on the Credit Facility for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $363.5 million and $493.5 million, respectively, and $344.6 million and $449.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The average interest rate on the Credit Facility, excluding any fees and unamortized debt issuance costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 1.6% and 2.4%, respectively, and 1.7% and 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We generally utilize cash flow from operations as our primary source of funding and turn to our Credit Facility to fund any temporary fluctuations, such as increases in contract receivables, reductions in accounts payable and accrued expenses, purchase of treasury stock, payment of declared dividends, additional capital expenditures, and to meet funding requirements for new acquisitions.

The decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $3.2 million, net of taxes, was driven by a change of $1.6 million in the fair value of the interest rate hedging instruments, before taxes, $1.8 million in net losses reclassified to comprehensive income related to hedging instruments, before taxes, $1.1 million change before taxes in the value of certain foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (primarily the British Pound, Euro and Canadian dollar), and $0.4 million in gains from the previous sale of an interest rate hedge reclassified to income. The net tax effects of the transactions totaled $1.0 million.  See “Note 10—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

We have entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) with expiration dates through August 2023 and February 2025 for a total notional amount of $200.0 million in order to hedge a portion of our floating rate Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of the Swaps was an unrealized loss of $7.5 million, before tax, and is included in current and long-term liabilities. See “Note 8—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and “Note 16—Fair Value” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”  On a quarterly basis, management evaluates the Swaps to determine their effectiveness and record the change in fair value of the Swaps as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management intends that the Swaps remain effective.

We have explored various options for mitigating the risk associated with potential fluctuations in the foreign currencies in which we conduct transactions. We currently have forward contract agreements (“currency hedges”) in an amount proportionate to work anticipated to be performed under certain contracts in Europe. We recognize changes in the fair value of the currency hedges in our results of operations. We may increase the number, size, and scope of our currency hedges as we analyze options for mitigating our foreign exchange and interest rate risk. The current impact of the foreign currency hedges to the consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

Share Repurchase Program. The objective of the share repurchase program has been to offset dilution resulting from employee stock compensation. We meet our objective to offset dilution via our 10b5-1 and 10b-18 trading plans. In September 2017 the board of directors approved a share repurchase program that authorizes share repurchases in the aggregate up to $100.0 million. Our total repurchases are also limited by the Credit Facility as described in “Note 15—Share Repurchase Program” in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report.  Our overall repurchase limit is the lower of the amount imposed by our board of directors and by the Credit Facility.  Previously, purchases under the repurchase program would be made from time to time at prevailing market prices in open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions pursuant to Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under

28

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. On January 11, 2021, we approved an updated Rule 10b5-1 plan element of the share repurchase program, as part of our normal process, that commenced in January 2021. The purchases are funded from existing cash balances and/or borrowings, and the repurchased shares will be held in treasury and used for general corporate purposes. The timing and extent to which we repurchase our shares will depend upon market conditions and other corporate considerations, as may be considered in our sole discretion. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 173,000 shares under this program at an average price of $85.21 per share. The Credit Facility permits unlimited share repurchases, provided our Leverage Ratio, prior to and after giving effect to such repurchases, is not greater than 3.50 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2021, $31.3 million remained available for share repurchases under the Credit Facility.

Dividends.  Cash dividends declared thus far in 2021 are as follows:

Dividend Declaration Date	Dividend Per Share		Record Date	Payment Date
February 25, 2021	$	0.14	March 26, 2021	April 13, 2021
May 4, 2021	$	0.14	June 11, 2021	July 14, 2021
August 3, 2021	$	0.14	September 10, 2021	October 13, 2021

Cash Flow. We consider cash on deposit and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. The following table sets forth our sources and uses of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	Six Months Ended
	June 30,
(in thousands)	2021			2020
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities	$	6,341		$	10,801
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities		(7,475	)		(262,105	)
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities		(45,642	)		254,366
Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash		699			(480	)
(Decrease) Increase in Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	$	(46,077	)	$	2,582

Our operating cash flows are primarily affected by the overall profitability of our contracts, our ability to invoice and collect from our clients in a timely manner, and the timing of vendor and subcontractor payments in accordance with negotiated payment terms. We bill most of our clients on a monthly basis after services are rendered.

Operating activities provided $6.3 million in cash for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the prior year was primarily due to an increase in net income, inclusive of adjustments for non-cash expenses, and an increase in cash flows from our net contract assets and liabilities and our accounts payable and other operating liabilities due to timing of payments, offset by a decrease in cash flows from the change in contract receivables. The decrease in contract receivables is primarily due to slower collection related to our disaster relief and rebuild efforts as well as in our international business.

Investing activities used cash of $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $262.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2021 were for capital expenditures for property and equipment and capitalized software, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 we used $253.1 million for payments of a business acquisition, net of cash acquired, and $9.0 million for capital expenditures for property and equipment and capitalized software.

Our cash flows provided by financing activities consists primarily of debt and equity transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash flows used in financing activities was $45.6 million, consisting net cash proceeds from net advances from our Credit Facility totaling $18.2 million and proceeds from exercises of stock options of $2.8 million, offset by net payments of restricted contract funds of $42.2 million, net payments for stock issuances and buybacks of $18.4 million, primarily representing shares repurchased under our share repurchase program, payments of cash dividends totaling $5.3 million, and payments on business acquisition liabilities of $0.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash flows provided by financing activities was $254.4 million. This was primarily from cash provided by net advances on our Credit Facility of $288.4 million to fund the ITG acquisition, offset by cash used for net payments for stock issuances and buybacks of $23.0 million, primarily representing shares repurchased under our share repurchase program, payments of cash dividends totaling $5.3 million, payment of debt issuance costs of $2.1 million, payment on business acquisition liabilities of $1.9 million, and payment of capital expenditure obligations of $1.7 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the disclosures discussed in the section entitled “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting. As of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. We performed the evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f), during the periods covered by this Quarterly Report or, to our knowledge, in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. Control systems, no matter how well conceived and operated, are designed to provide a reasonable, but not an absolute, level of assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been or will be detected. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item  1. Legal Proceedings 

We are involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause us to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, we currently believe that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item  1A. Risk Factors 

There have been no material changes in the risk factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report.

The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks that we encounter.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.

[1] Under a contract with a customer that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company received advance payments to be used to pay providers of services to the customer, a separate third-party. The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “Receipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “Payment of restricted contract funds.”

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Nature of Operations

The Company provides professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, including management, marketing, technology, and policy consulting and implementation services, in the areas of energy, environment, and infrastructure; health, education, and social programs; safety and security; and consumer and financial services. The Company offers a full range of services to these clients throughout the entire life cycle of a policy, program, project, or initiative, from research and analysis and assessment and advice to design and implementation of programs and technology-based solutions, and the provision of engagement services and programs.

The Company’s major clients are U.S. federal government departments and agencies, most significantly the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of State, and Department of Defense. The Company also serves U.S. state (including territories) and local government departments and agencies, international governments, and commercial clients worldwide. Commercial clients include airlines, airports, electric and gas utilities, health care companies, banks and other financial services companies, transportation, travel and hospitality firms, non-profits/associations, law firms, manufacturing firms, retail chains, and distribution companies. The term “federal” or “federal government” refers to the U.S. federal government, and “state and local” or “state and local government” refers to U.S. state (including territories) and local governments, unless otherwise indicated.

The Company, incorporated in Delaware, is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. The Company maintains additional offices throughout the world, including more than 50 offices in the U.S. and U.S. territories and 22 offices in key markets outside the U.S., including offices in the United Kingdom, Belgium, China, India, and Canada.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, contingent consideration related to business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition and costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management's estimates.

Interim Results

The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, to be condensed or omitted. In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position of the Company for the interim periods presented. The Company reports operating results and financial data in one operating segment and reporting unit. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts, among other contracts, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company can elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Also, the Company can elect various optional expedients that would allow for the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. This guidance was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Cash

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented to the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

	2021				2020
	Beginning		Ending		Beginning		Ending
Cash and cash equivalents	$	13,841	$	9,603	$	6,482	$	9,064
Restricted cash (1)		68,146		26,307		—		—
Total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	81,987	$	35,910	$	6,482	$	9,064

(1) Under a contract with a customer that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company received advance payments to be used to pay providers of services to the customer, a separate third-party. The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “Receipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “Payment of restricted contract funds.”

On March 3, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement with a group of ten commercial banks (the “Credit Facility”). The First Amendment amended the Fifth Amended and Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement to, among other things, (i) add a new term loan facility in the original principal amount of $200.0 million; (ii) increase the swing line commitment amount by $25.0 million to $75.0 million; (iii) extend the maturity date; and (iv) modify certain definitions and certain covenants. As a result, the Credit Facility now consists of (i) a term loan facility of $200.0 million; (ii) a revolving line of credit of up to $600.0 million with additional revolving credit commitments of up to $300.0 million, subject to lenders’ approval (the “Accordion”); and (iii) a sub-limit of $75.0 million for swing line loans. The Credit Facility matures on March 3, 2025.

The Company has the option to borrow funds under the Credit Facility at interest rates based on both LIBOR (1, 3, or 6-month rates) and the Base Rate (as defined herein), at its discretion, plus their applicable margins. Base Rates are fluctuating per annum rates of interest equal to the highest of (i) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate, plus 0.5%, (ii) the Prime Rate (as defined under the Credit Facility) and (iii) the daily LIBOR rate, plus a LIBOR margin between 1.00% and 2.00% based on its Leverage Ratio (as defined under the Credit Facility). The interest accrued based on LIBOR rates is to be paid on the last business day of the interest period (1, 3, or 6 months), while interest accrued based on the Base Rate is to be paid in quarterly installments. The Credit Facility also provides for letters of credit aggregating up to $60.0 million which reduce the funds available under the Credit Facility when issued.  The unused portion of the Credit Facility is subject to a commitment fee between 0.13% and 0.25% per annum based on the Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company and requires that the Company remain in compliance with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants require, among other things, that the Company maintain at all times an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined under the Credit Facility) of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a Leverage Ratio of not more than 4.00 to 1.00 (subject to a step-up to 4.25 to 1.0 for a four quarter period following permitted acquisitions as defined under the Credit Facility) for each fiscal quarter. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility also has a conforming dividend covenant that allows the Company to pay dividends as long as it remains in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $333.9 million long-term debt outstanding from the Credit Facility (including the term loan, exclusive of unamortized debt issuance costs), nine outstanding letters of credit totaling $3.3 million, net derivative obligations of $6.4 million and unused borrowing capacity of $450.3 million under the Credit Facility (excluding the Accordion and the term loan). Taking into account the financial, performance-based limitations, available borrowing capacity (excluding the Accordion and the term loan) was $292.0 million as of June 30, 2021. 

Future scheduled repayments of debt principal are as follows:

Payments due by	Term Loan		Revolving Credit		Total
June 30, 2022	$	10,000	$	—	$	10,000

Revenue Recognition

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

NOTE 7 – REVENUE RECOGNITION

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company disaggregates revenue from clients, most of which is earned over time, into categories that depict how the nature, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Those categories are client market, client type and contract mix. Client markets provide insight into the breadth of the Company’s expertise. In classifying revenue by client market, the Company attributes revenue from a client to the market that the Company believes is the client’s primary market. The Company also classifies revenue by the type of entity for which it does business, which is an indicator of the diversity of its client base. The Company attributes revenue generated from being a subcontractor to a commercial company as government revenue when the ultimate client is a government agency or department. Disaggregation by contract mix provides insight in terms of the degree of performance risk that the Company has assumed. Fixed-price contracts are considered to provide the highest amount of performance risk as the Company is required to deliver a scope of work or level of effort for a negotiated fixed price. Time-and-materials contracts require the Company to provide skilled employees on contracts for negotiated fixed hourly rates. Since the Company is not required to deliver a scope of work, but merely skilled employees, it considers these contracts to be less risky than a fixed-price agreement. Cost-based contracts are considered to provide the lowest amount of performance risk since the Company is generally reimbursed for all contract costs incurred in performance of contract deliverables with only the amount of incentive or award fees (if applicable) dependent on the achievement of negotiated performance requirements.  

Changes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were driven by an increase of revenue in the energy, environment, and infrastructure client market, primarily led by revenue from international government clients, an increase in the health, education, and social programs client market led by revenue from U.S. federal government and international government clients, and an increase in the consumer and financial services client market led by revenue from commercial clients. Revenue from safety and security client market saw a slight decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from U.S. federal government clients, and a slight increase in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from international government clients.

Contract Balances:

Contract assets consist primarily of unbilled amounts resulting from long-term contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed often due to billing schedule timing. Contract liabilities result from advance payments received on a contract or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on long-term contracts due to billing schedule timing.

The following table summarizes the contract balances as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	June 30, 2021			December 31, 2020			$ Change		% Change
Contract assets	$	150,390		$	143,369		$	7,021		4.9	%
Contract liabilities		(35,700	)		(42,050	)		6,350		(15.1	%)
Net contract assets (liabilities)	$	114,690		$	101,319		$	13,371		13.2	%

The net contract assets (liabilities) as of June 30, 2021 increased by $13.4 million as compared to December 31, 2020. The increase in net contract assets (liabilities) is primarily due to the timing difference between the performance of services and billings to and payments from customers. There were no material changes to contract balances due to impairments during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $20.1 million and $19.8 million in revenue related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Performance Obligations:

The Company had $1.6 billion in unfulfilled performance obligations as of June 30, 2021 which primarily entail the future delivery of services for which revenue will be recognized over time. The obligations relate to continued or additional services required on contracts and were generally valued using an estimated cost-plus margin approach, with variable consideration being estimated at the most likely amount.  The Company expects to satisfy these performance obligations, on average, in one to two years.

Derivative instruments and Hedges Activities

NOTE 8 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company manages its risk to changes in interest rates through the use of derivative instruments. The Company does not hold derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  For variable rate borrowings, the Company uses fixed interest rate swaps, effectively converting a portion of the variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments.  These swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.

A summary of interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2021 are as follows:

				Dates of Effected Cash Flows
Date of Interest Rate Swap Agreement	Notional Amount ($million)		Paid Fixed Interest Rate%	Beginning	Ending
September 30, 2016 (1)	$	100.0	-	January 31, 2018	January 31, 2023
August 31, 2017	$	25.0	1.8475%	August 31, 2018	August 31, 2023
August 8, 2018	$	50.0	2.8540%	August 31, 2018	August 31, 2023
August 8, 2018	$	25.0	2.8510%	August 31, 2018	August 31, 2023
February 20, 2020	$	100.0	1.2940%	February 28, 2020	February 28, 2025

(1) On December 1, 2016, the Company sold the interest rate hedge agreement.  The fair value of the interest rate hedge, as of the date of the sale, was recorded in other comprehensive income, net of tax.  The gain from the sale will be recognized into earnings when earnings are impacted by the cash flows of the previously hedged variable interest rate.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 30.7% and 29.0%, respectively, and 28.8% and 24.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company is subject to federal income tax as well as taxes in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. Tax statutes and regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to interpretation and require the application of significant judgment. The Company’s 2017 through 2019 tax years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for federal tax purposes. Certain significant state, local and foreign tax returns also remain open under the applicable statute of limitations and are subject to examination for the tax years from 2016 to 2019.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $0.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, resulting from tax positions taken in a prior period.  Included in the balance as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, were $0.8 million and $0.3 million in unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate.

The Company’s policy is not to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued penalty and interest at June 30, 2021 but had $0.1 million in accrued penalty and interest at June 30, 2020, respectively.

The Company has made no provision for deferred U.S. income taxes or additional foreign taxes on future unremitted earnings of its controlled foreign subsidiaries because the Company considers these earnings to be permanently invested.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company elected to participate in several novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) tax-relief programs for which it was eligible. Pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, the Company exercised the option to defer payment of the employer portion of the Social Security tax, with 50% to be repaid by December 31, 2021 and the remainder by December 31, 2022.  The Company deferred payment of approximately $20.9 million of employer Social Security taxes during the year ended December 31, 2020.  The current portion of the deferred payments are included in accrued salaries and benefits, and the remaining deferred payments are included in other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Accounting for Stock-based Compensation

NOTE 12 – ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

On April 4, 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Omnibus Plan”), which was subsequently approved by the stockholders and became effective on May 31, 2018 (the “Effective Date”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan replaced the previous 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Prior Plan”). The 2018 Omnibus Plan was amended on May 28, 2020 to increase the number of shares available for issuance.

The 2018 Omnibus Plan, as amended, allows the Company to grant 1,600,000 shares using stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSU”), performance units and performance share awards (“PSA”), cash-settled restricted stock units (“CSRSU”), and other stock-based awards to all officers, key employees, and non-employee directors of the Company. Outstanding shares granted under the Prior Plan, totaling 37,077 as of June 30, 2021, remain subject to its terms and conditions, and no additional awards from the Prior Plan are to be made after the Effective Date. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 1,005,607 shares available for grant under the 2018 Omnibus Plan. CSRSUs have no impact on the shares available for grant under the Omnibus Plan, nor on the calculated shares used in earnings per share calculations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted to its employees 78,218 shares in the form of RSUs with an average grant date fair value of $89.00, and the equivalent value of 50,735 shares in the form of CSRSUs with an average grant date fair value of $89.12. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company also granted 35,318 shares in the form of PSAs to its employees with a grant date fair value of $95.72 per share. The RSUs, CSRSUs and PSAs granted are generally subject to service-based vesting conditions, with the PSAs also having performance-based vesting conditions. The performance conditions for the PSAs granted in 2021 have a performance period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 and performance conditions that are consistent with the PSAs granted in prior years.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $10.6 million and $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $12.6 million as of June 30, 2021 related to unsettled RSUs is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. The unrecognized compensation expense related to CSRSUs totaled approximately $9.3 million at June 30, 2021 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years. Unrecognized compensation expense related to PSAs of approximately $4.4 million as of June 30, 2021 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

NOTE 14 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company’s earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS considers the potential dilution that could occur if common stock equivalents were exercised or converted into stock. The difference between the basic and diluted weighted-average equivalent shares with respect to the Company’s EPS calculation was due entirely to the assumed exercise of stock options and the vesting and settlement of RSUs and PSAs. PSAs are included in the computation of diluted shares only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions (i) are satisfied as of the end of the reporting period or (ii) would be considered satisfied if the end of the reporting period were also the end of the applicable performance period and the result would be dilutive under the treasury stock method.

As of June 30, 2021, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2019 met the related performance conditions for the initial performance period and were included in the calculation of diluted EPS. However, the PSAs granted during the year ended December 31, 2020 and during the six months ended June 30, 2021 have not yet completed their initial two-year performance period and therefore were excluded in the calculation of diluted EPS.  For the three months ended June 30, 2021, there were no weighted-average shares excluded from the calculation of EPS because they were anti-dilutive.  For the six months ended June 30, 2021, there were 258 weighted-average shares that were anti-dilutive. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were 19,755 and 19,881 weighted-average shares that were excluded because they were anti-dilutive. The anti-dilutive shares in both years were associated with RSUs.

The dilutive effect of stock options, RSUs, and PSAs for each period reported is summarized below:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended

NOTE 18 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation and Claims

The Company is involved in various legal matters and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While these matters and proceedings cause it to incur costs, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, the Company currently believes that any ultimate liability arising out of these matters and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Road Home Contract

On June 10, 2016, the Office of Community Development (the “OCD”) of the State of Louisiana filed a written administrative demand with the Louisiana Commissioner of Administration against ICF Emergency Management Services, L.L.C. (“ICF Emergency”), a subsidiary of the Company, in connection with ICF Emergency’s administration of the Road Home Program (“Program”). The Program contract was a three-year, $912 million contract awarded to the Company in 2006. The Program ended, as scheduled, in 2009. 

The Program was primarily intended to help homeowners and landlords of small rental properties affected by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. In its administrative demand, the OCD sought approximately $200.8 million in alleged overpayments to the Program’s grant recipients, and separately supplemented the amount of recovery it sought in total to approximately $220.2 million. The State of Louisiana, through the Division of Administration, also filed suit in Louisiana state court on June 10, 2016. The State of Louisiana broadly alleges and sought recoupment for the same claim made in the administrative proceeding submission before the Louisiana Commissioner of Administration. On September 21, 2016, the Commissioner of the Division of Administration notified OCD and the Company of his decision to defer jurisdiction of the administrative demand filed by the OCD. In so doing, the Commissioner declined to reach a decision on the merits, stated that his deferral would not be deemed to grant or deny any portion of the OCD’s claim, and authorized the parties to proceed on the matter in the previously filed judicial proceeding.  The Company continues to believe that this claim has no merit, intends to vigorously defend its position, and has therefore not recorded a liability as of June 30, 2021.

Executive Chair Retirement

On November 15, 2020, the Company’s former Executive Chair gave notice of his retirement effective December 31, 2020.  In connection with his retirement, the former Executive Chair is entitled to receive compensation and benefits as provided in his employment agreement for a termination of employment on the basis of “good reason.”  As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $1.9 million in unpaid severance expected to be paid to the former Executive Chair by July 2021. These amounts were expensed as part of the recording of the Executive Chair’s retirement in the fourth quarter of 2020. PSAs totaling 34,276 shares which were originally granted during 2019 and 2020, are to be satisfied through the normal course of the PSA equity award plan (see Note 12—Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation), and subject to adjustments from EPS and rTSR performances.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICF International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and have been prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Areas of the consolidated financial statements where estimates may have the most significant effect include contractual and regulatory reserves, valuation and lives of tangible and intangible assets, contingent consideration related to business acquisitions, impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, accrued liabilities, revenue recognition and costs to complete fixed-price contracts, bonus and other incentive compensation, stock-based compensation, reserves for tax benefits and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, provisions for income taxes, collectability of receivables, and loss accruals for litigation. Actual results experienced by the Company may differ from management's estimates.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

The Company has reclassified “Non-cash lease expense” which was previously part of “Other adjustments, net” on the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 for consistency of presentation.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The standard is intended to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The provisions of this ASU are elective and apply to all entities, subject to meeting certain criteria, that have debt or hedging contracts, among other contracts, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company can elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. Also, the Company can elect various optional expedients that would allow for the Company to continue to apply hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. This guidance was effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and the Company may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented to the total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Total of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows	$	81,987	$	35,910	$	6,482	$	9,064

(1) Under a contract with a customer that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company received advance payments to be used to pay providers of services to the customer, a separate third-party. The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “Receipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “Payment of restricted contract funds.”

Disaggregation of Revenue

Changes in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 were driven by an increase of revenue in the energy, environment, and infrastructure client market, primarily led by revenue from international government clients, an increase in the health, education, and social programs client market led by revenue from U.S. federal government and international government clients, and an increase in the consumer and financial services client market led by revenue from commercial clients. Revenue from safety and security client market saw a slight decrease in the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from U.S. federal government clients, and a slight increase in the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to 2020, mainly from international government clients.

[1] Under a contract with a customer that commenced in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company received advance payments to be used to pay providers of services to the customer, a separate third-party. The advanced payments are treated as restricted cash as the Company is required under the contract to distribute the advanced funds to the third-party providers of services or return the advanced funds to the customer. Because the Company receives the advance payments from the customer, which must be refunded to the customer or remitted to a third party, the cash receipts are treated as borrowings and recorded in restricted cash and accrued expenses and other current liabilities rather than receipts for the provision of goods or services. Therefore, these cash receipts are presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows as financing cash inflows, “Receipt of restricted contract funds”, with the subsequent payments classified as financing cash outflows, “Payment of restricted contract funds.”
